I failed IIT. Twice.

At one point, it genuinely felt like life was over. In small towns, failure doesn’t stay private. The comparisons, the silent judgment, the feeling that everyone suddenly sees you differently ,I experienced all of it. It hurt more than I ever admitted.

So, I left my hometown and moved to another city for a government college. Not the dream college. Not even close. Just a chance to restart.

Money was tight. My parents couldn’t support my college financially, so I took loans and started teaching school kids mathematics to manage expenses. There were days when 1–2 samosas were enough to get through the entire day. Looking back, survival mode teaches you things comfort never can.

Like many people in college, I also got distracted. Relationships, emotions, confusion , life happened. But somewhere inside, there was always this discomfort that I was capable of more.

Campus placement finally happened.

₹20,000 per month.

My first role was in IT support. I was grateful for the opportunity, but deep down, I knew I didn’t want to stay there forever.

I made a promise to myself:

“For the next few years, nothing matters except changing my family’s future.”

No partying. No drinking. No smoking. No distractions.

Just work.

After office hours, nights became my second shift. I started learning AI/ML on my own. No roadmap. No expensive courses. No mentor guiding me. Just curiosity, internet, and the hunger to create a different life.

Eventually, I convinced another manager to give me a chance in an AI/ML project. That one decision changed the trajectory of my career.

AI turned into Product.

Product turned into Business.

Years later, I became one of the youngest VPs, handling one of the biggest portfolios , earning alongside friends who had cracked IIT in the same year I had failed.

Life has a strange sense of timing.

This year, I took another leap and moved to Dubai to build again. Starting over never scares you once you’ve rebuilt yourself before.

But if I’m being fully honest, I do have regrets.

I optimized too much for career and too little for health and relationships. Success gives you many things, but it also quietly takes some things away if you’re not paying attention.

Still learning. Still fixing that part.

If there’s one thing life has taught me, it’s this:

You do not need the perfect start to build an extraordinary life.

You need resilience.

You need obsession.

And sometimes, changing your fortune is simply deciding that for the next few years, you will give yourself fully to one thing.

From a family that once struggled to buy milk…

…to now being able to buy what we want without thinking twice.

Grateful for the journey.

Still hungry.

Still building.

I thought it would be cool to visualize how virtualization in Legend List / react native works so I made this site

I've been hacking on Legend List @Backpack and thought y'all would wanna see how the internals work

Your JSI library might be slower than it needs to be.
Small JSI architecture decisions can make code up to 2x–10x faster - we benchmarked what actually matters:
- HostFunction vs HostObject
- NativeState
- Stack vs Heap
If you care about performance, read this. 👇

@margelo_com @mrousavy Nice, can we create an agent skill based on all this information
It would be very helpful

Ever wondered why animations on #reactnative's new architecture were so laggy?
We partnered with the @discord team, found the bottlenecks, and helped make their mobile app feel buttery smooth.
Here’s the before/after 👇

[Szymon @Turbo_Szymon]

Sneak peek: react-native-release-profiler 2.0

• Release-only
• Renders + Hermes samples + RN systraces → single Perfetto trace
• Built for agents
• FPS
• Memory
• Humans can try --visualise-for-human if they insist 😄

[Software Mansion @swmansion]

We've just released @‌native-html/render! 📣

It's a successor to react-native-render-html with the exact same API, but it now supports the latest @reactnative.

We will maintain it going forward, so we highly recommend switching, as the previous package is no longer maintained.

@LukasM27445791 @shorebirddev True, the points mentioned in the article are skewed to elevate one point of view

@expo @nishanbende Awesome

[Mathieu A. @zoontek]

Just published the first react-native-bootsplash v7 beta, with a revamped expo plugin that doesn't require running the CLI first to create the assets anymore.

This allow you to easily customize your splash screen programatically ✨

Give it a try: https://t.co/Ivl794Jc4b

@_jbroma @expo Hi @_jbroma , I have a no-code builder that generates JS code. I want to fetch it at runtime and inject into Hermes to call via `global.injectedFunction()`. Currently using `eval`; is there a better way?

@barany6m Yes

@adnansahinovich Count me in ...

[Evan Bacon 🥓 @Baconbrix]

Also— we've been working on native CSS parsing + pure Tailwind v4 support in Expo for all platforms.

More info coming soon.

🎨 Just built a circular slider to explore transport types — with smooth animations using Reanimated + Expo
